They sound the same, which way is it spelled?

Edit, it’s the underwear that is white in this question.

    Technically that is what they wrote since they forgot the comma. “white, men’s briefs” is a list of adjectives describing briefs, the noun. “White men’s briefs” makes “white” the adjective describing the men who own the briefs

    Men’s vs. mens was also an issue that added ambiguity
